Patterns, Patterns, Who's Got Patterns?

New Afghan!

The pattern starts out a bit finicky- I've had to alter a couple of spots to keep it lying flat. I think it's going to turn out pretty though! I'm working it up in Oyster Heather and Spruce worsted weight Wool of the Andes from KnitPicks.

In other news, there's a giveaway going on at my blog! I have a set of three adorable handmade dishcloths to give away in celebration of my blogiversary. To enter, just hop over to the giveaway post on my blog and leave a comment. Easy as pie(or Chrysanthemums, in this case)! :)

WOW, all of your blankies are so beautiful!! I love all the colors you've used in everything you've shared photos of, very lovely! I hope that someday when I stay home with my own children I will be able to find the time to make similar items; crocheting is just so much fun and results in such pretty things!:)

@Stormarela- Really? Do you have any suggestions for getting them to lie flat? I actually started this one and then gave it up because I couldn't get it to lay flat, and I didn't want to get halfway through the thing and then realize it would forever be rumply. I've noticed with several of Bernat's free patterns that they aren't always the most well-written. :/

Hi Sherri, wow you have a few blogs for me to paruse thru...this one caught my eye first because I'm working on a round ripple from a picture of one I posted about on my blog which I couldn't find a pattern to. Anyhoo...I see that you mentioned your round ripple wouldn't lay flat, and I had the same trouble with my " sample" one I am making, and I have put it off to the side. Like the other commenter, I didn't want to get too far and frog the entire thing..so I put it quietly aside for now...any suggestions? I thought maybe mine was ripply? because I wasn't working from a pattern and maybe did something wrong. Thanks for stopping over..I would have never known you if you didn't leave a comment:)
